hahah I'm wearing this shirt backwards
... there's nobody here but the cats and I seriously doubt anybody would notice it was backwards unless they saw the tag under my chin. BUT IT BOTHERS ME OKAY
drugs
@vahnj ooooh, yeah, that makes sense. :| much empathy--it's not on the same scale at all, but I haven't been able to have grapefruit for decades, and I LOVE grapefruit.
depression support post
@mawr I would give you money (and fabric) to make custom plush frens. o_____o

@vahnj can you do edibles? I can't smoke, these days my respiratory system reacts badly to *everything*.
@typhlosion my Lokific has trans, nb, and ace dragons. :D

I'll be revamping my goals this weekend, and I'm also interested in hearing from folks what kinds of rewards they'd be interested in seeing if they're not already on the list. What sorts of things would you want to see in a writing/literary Patreon? How much would you be willing to pay for them? I'm not going to make folks pay for the base output, but if there's stuff above and beyond that people would like to see, I'd be glad to hear about it!

Hey, folks. This is a quick reminder since we're coming up on the end of the month that I'm running a Patreon to show off my writing -- https://www.patreon.com/literorrery -- which directly goes to help support myself, my wife, and my roommates. You don't have to contribute to get access to the stories. I'm trying to cut the cord with Twitter, so I'd appreciate the help with getting the message out.
cat medicating
medication acquisition mission accomplished! also "stuff pills down the cat's throat and make sure he swallows them" mission accomplished, though I realized *after* getting them in him that I was only supposed to give him *half* of the second pill, not an entire pill. I'm sure he'll be okay, though he'll probably have tummy upset, and both of us will feel bad. :(

I'm kinda over these stories of people being forced to go to extremes to survive under capitalism (like the story about the Lyft driver taking a job while they were in labor) being passed of as "inspirational"

Hey awooers and associated mastodon instances!
my good friend has this Kickstarter for a beautiful tarot deck that has a bit over a week to go, for those who are interested and might know someone. 💙
I highly appreciate any boosts in this! It's a really beautiful project and world that I would love to see suceed and brought to life 💙

today's expedition will be to see if I can find anti-allergy medication with the correct ingredient to stick down Pooka's throat. :P
and yeah, the chapter I skipped is one of the "needs much work" ones, in part because two of the characters that were in it when I wrote it aren't in it by the time I was done. :P *grumbles*
no wait. I SKIPPED A CHAPTER. what the actual I WAS WONDERING WHERE THOSE SCENES HAD GONE. /headdesk
rewriting the next chapter of the Lokific (I need a title, I suck at coming up with titles, arrgh), and I start getting to the stuff that needs to be heavily retooled. I'm not sure I'm up for that today, but welp HERE WE GO

@mxsparks this explains a lot about why I dislike the zombie apocalypse genre in general. the only exception is the book (NOT the movie) "World War Z," which took the basic premise to a global scale, and thoroughly examined and deconstructed some of the most common zombie apocalypse survival tropes.
I maybe like ellipses too much...
... shut up...
@typhlosion and don't worry if you have some false starts. when I was "shopping for a personal pantheon" I got a lot of unreturned calls and a couple of "you're cool, but this isn't quite the right fit." come to think, it actually was quite a bit like looking for a job...

"This form of Apocalypse myth will appeal to people with Right-wing values: they present a rough world where only people with Right-wing values are able to survive. [...] Zombie apocalypse stories are a refinement of this genre [...]
"Why does it matter that a genre has such a clean mapping to an ideology? The stories we tell and consume have a feedback loop with our expectations."

@typhlosion alternately, do a bit of research, based on things you like--do you like the ocean? look up water gods. like fire? look up fire gods. are you from a country/lineage that has a rich mythology? check into that. you'll know you've found something important when you *keep researching* because "hey, this god sounds *really cool*..."
